BEGGING LETTER-WRITERS.
How the Widow of Vice President Hendricks
Is Annoyed by Them.

The subject Of begging letter-writers was not
of this class of impostors and their protean
forms. In conversation with Mrs. Eliza Hen
bricks widow of Vice-president Hendricks. the
other day, she spoke of the annoyance and dis
tress that had been given her since the death of
her distinguished husband by persons all over
the United States who. assuming to have some
claim upon her, usually by reason of party
utilization. and. with laborious detail
of their woes, throw themselves upon
her generous or charitable feelings.
and ask for money in greater or less
amounts. Some of these letters present sorrow
and suffering in such way as to cause Mrs.
Hendricks much distress. In addition to these
letters demanding or begging money, she has re-
ceived numerous requests for photographs and
autographs of Mr.. Hendricks. II have cut out
autographs from all the letters and papers that
| have from which they can be spared, and can
send no more AS to photographs, have long
since given up trying to supply the requests.
There are demands made also for souvenirs of
other kinds In the letters that ask for money,
the writer's base their requests upon various sup
posed favors they have conferred, or they ask
for what they desir3 as if they were sure
that was person OF great wealth as l
would certainly need be to meet all the demands
they make. Some OF these begging letters ask
for money to aid in building churches to repair
a dwelling damaged by fire, to replace house
that has been burned down. or to support large
families of small children. In every letter am
informed that have only to accede to the re-
quests therein made to receive the writer's last
ing gratitude together with that of the entire
suffering family. One of the strangest of these
begging letters was from a woman protesting to
be the mother of triplets, who wrote for dona-
ton toward buying a COW. The letter said that
President Cleveland had contributed toward
buying the cow, but not enough, and for that
reason / was called upon"

A New Race Track.

The In Llama Trotting and Pacing horse Breed
ers' Association, at their last meeting held in
this city in January, appointed committee to
select ground for trotting park and mile track
to be located near the city. The committee have
unanimously agreed to recommend the location
of the park on Meridian street, at the cor
ner Of Fourteenth street, this side of Fall
creek, and have prepared articles
of incorporation for the subscription of sufficient
capital stock to purchase and improve the park,
which will be more accessible than the present
State fair grounds, and will be regulation mile
track and known as the Meridian Trotting Park.
The horse breeders at their meeting in January
pledged over SIS, 600 to the capital stock. and a
general call will be made the coming week to in
crease this to $50, 900 or $4,000 The advan-
tages OF mile track and two meetings in each
year of the fast horses in the country can hardly
be overestimated. The cities Of Rochester,
Buffalo Cleveland, Louisville. Chicago and St.
Louis have beer greatly benefited by these
first-class races.

Philip Moore-Of Denison House.

Died March 8, 1887.
Just a servant-Phiiip Moore
As his father was before
Born of slavery. and bred
Shackled, all but heart and head
Many guests of the hotel
Will remember Philip well,-
The bright boy you often took
From the pages of his book,
While with smiles, he turned to do
The poor service asked of you.-
Smiled the while you sat at ease.
And he down upon his knees,
CLOSED your shoes until the glare
Of his work reflected there
vassal-features dark as tan,
Yet those of a gentleman.
You may smile in scorn or you
May smile, knowing this is true.
Some have answered back the grace
That lit up the dusky face,
And have joyed to recognize
The souls fervor in his eyes.
Others have turned, mystifed,
To the book he laid aside,
To take up his brush and dust
Round their brains of moth and mus.
Just servant, Philip Moore
As his father was before
Born of slavery. and bred
Shackled, all but heart and head!
So that father greets to-day,
His lorn mate from far away,
Breaking from her DURANGO. long,
Long enforced of that old wrong
Which rent wife and sire apart
Hand from hand and heart from heart.
As they parted-these long years.
So they met again, with tears,
Bending Ger their dying child,
Whose mute lips moved up and smiled
For the mother-kiss that lay
On them as he passed away
Passed, the last of her dark brood,
Out of endless servitude.

Last Tuesday morning the body
of Armisted Hill, cOlored, was
found hanging by the neck, dead,
near his home on the farm Of Mr..
w. M. Lester, in the 9Th district
of this county. He had made a
failure in his cropping adventure
with Mr.. Lester, and the amount
he raised was attached for rent.
This threw a cloud of disp0nd-
ency over him which was more
than he could bear and he madly
rushed into eternity by his own
hands.-JacksOn Wheel.
